Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End (2016)

All good things must come to an end. That’s the message of Uncharted 4 whether you’re talking about the story itself or the legacy of the franchise. It was the biggest exclusive Sony had going for it, but it’s time had come. Naughty Dog had earned its reputation as the premier first-party studio, and the conclusion of Nathan Drake’s adventures gave the team more space to focus on its newest legendary franchise, The Last of Us. They gave him one helluva send-off with a game that had all the big set piece action, gorgeous cinematics, tantalizing puzzles and pitch-perfect storytelling fans expected. Skeptics wondered what could replace it, but the best was yet to come.
